Messi to stay with Barcelona

In an interview, this season’s Barcelona coach Luis Enrique has commented that he expects team star Lionel Messi to remain with Barcelon for many years ending reports of a rift between the two.

According to the repports, Messi was unhappy with the current management, tactics and style of the coach and it was said that he was looking for an exit and sparking interest from Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City.

But in the last week, Messi said that he has no plans to exit the club that he joined when he was 13-year-old but hasn’t denied the rumors about the lack of understanding with Luis Enrique, who took over from Gerardo Martino this season.

Given that Messi, four times world player of the year has a great influence at Barcelona it was expected that Luis Enrique was the one who could leave, a possibility increased after sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta was sacked a couple of weeks ago.

Luis Enrique expressed that “Leo is going to stay at Barça for many years, that is what everybody wants”, also he commented that all the Barcelona dressing room is united.

He said that the team is united in the same from and they discuss ways to improve the performance o how hey can damage the opponent, a normal dynamic for any football team.

Barcelona’s president, Josep Bartomeu also talked about Messi and he said to Catalunya Radio that Messi told him that he wants to stay and finish his career at Barcelona. The commitment and willingness are at his peak, said the president.

President’s words came after Lionel Messi said at the Ballon d’Or galla that he doesn’t know where he will be next year.

This last month was one of the most difficult for Barcelona in recent years after they lost the appeal of the transfer ban, called for early elections this summer and sacked its sports director Zubizarreta.
